the next morning things were going nice and slow, Hayley was walking around while having an apple in her hand, heh funny how normally you can't do that anymore when outside the walls but she was in a mood for apple eating. as for the new people? andrea, michone and this military guy they found in a chopper, well all is good. andrea seems nice enough but isn't dumb or so she can tell. michone...she isn't a talker but doesn't like to play around that's for sure. Hayley stopped when she saw the gates being open and instead of seeing one car she saw three cars...military cars. this bought everyone's attention to what was going on cause this was new.
very new and very strange for the girl. she moved some of her hair out of her eyes as she watched the governor walk out of the car and whisper something to Milton and merle, what that was? she didn't know but it did make merle walk away and instantly she knew what was the true story for the vehicles figures she thought to herself as she scoffed, taking a bit out of her apple and watched the governor make his speech
"we brought in three new people yesterday. one was a helicopter pilot with a national guard outfit, even though he was clinging to life...he told us about his convoy on the highway, his men. i promised...i'd bring them back here alive" the governor said while nodding his head slightly, looking out to the crowd of people "but they didn't have our walls or our fences...biters got there before we did" he said while swallowing hard. of course the news sadden people at what was being told but not Hayley. no, this story did not make her upset. in fact, something else was filled her up, anger? but it wasn't anger for the so called biters killing the men. she glanced over at michone who was sitting down not far from the crowd and she seemed to not be buying the story as well as Hayley wasn't.
"now, the men had trucks, the truck had weapons, food, medicine, things we need. now we didn't know them, but we'll honor their sacrifice by not taking what we have here for granted. won't be long before dark, so go on home" the governor said "be thankful for what you have...watch out for each other." he finished his speech and got off from the truck as people started to head back to what they were doing. Hayley gritted her teeth and was about to walk up to the governor when she saw blondie aka andrea walk up to him and start chatting with him. she'll let this slide for now...
later on at night Hayley slipped out of her room, considering the governor had this strict rule that no one, and I mean no onewas allowed to be out at dark it would be a bit hard to get to his place. she needed to talk with the governor fast. it was important to her truthfully. she managed not to get seen by the men out on duty protecting the wall, making her up to the door to the governor's place and knocked on the door repeatedly. she wasn't going to stop knocking until he answers and thankfully he did, only to have his eyebrow raised at her sight "you should be in bed" he said while she rolled her eyes bed my ass she thought as she followed him inside, not caring if one of his mistress was asleep "we need to talk" she simply said as she watched the man pour some whisky into his glass "it can wait in the morning"
"no it cant and you know why" she said as she just stared at him, looking at some facial expression but it seemed like nothing hit him or anything. figuring this was her chance to talk she sighed "where did you get the guns?" she asked, she perfectly took notice of the new guns he gotten "like I said, the convoy had things we needed" "that doesn't answer my question" she told him, raising her voice just a bit but it was still soft "where did you get them" she repeated as she watched him take off the key necklace he was wearing and open the door to his 'special room' but she didn't give up and slowly followed him. no one was allowed in this room, no one! she was just an exception of course.
she swallowed hard as she entered the lit room, the room still gave her the creepy shiver on the back of her neck, if this is what he calls 'therapeutic' then she must of lost her mind then "you stole them didn't you?" she asked, silence from the governor as she shook her head why do I bother even asking? "who told you that you have the right to take them?" she asked him "biters got-" "cut the bullshit already! you and I know perfectly well on what really happened so you can go ahead and tell all of those sugar coated lies to everyone in this town but not me" she said as every word she said was like venom.
the governor took in a deep breath as he looked at her before looking straight ahead at his tank full of water...and heads...walker heads. dead heads from people. she swallowed hard as she looked at the stacked up fish tanks and noticed three new additions to his collection. two were the walkers from the two women they took in and another one...made her furrow her eyebrows and clench her fist. it was the pilot from the chopper. she shook her head and closed her eyes, how can he seem normal yet he has a twisted mind? he was perfectly fine before all of this and now? now he's a ticking time bomb "you could have just taken the men in ya know" she said before walking out, slamming the door shut on her way out. the governor leaned back more in his arm chair as he rubbed his chin, knowing perfectly what he needed to do
Hayley finished eating breakfast and planned on sleeping in cause she wasn't having any good sleep for the past week, she got under the covers and shut her eyes. almost falling asleep when she heard a knock on her door, her eyes shutting open and groaned leave me alone! she put the pillow over her head and prayed the person would leave but instead the knocking continued which made her finally get up "im up, im up" she muttered as she stomped over to the door, opening wide open with a snappy "what?" and to her surprise. she saw merle, having a grin for some weird reason and chuckling "hey now darlin' no need to be mad, just wannted to invite you out" "like a date?" Hayley snorted and leaned against the door frame, crossing her arms across her chest
"you can interpret that anyway you want sugar, yer going out on a run with me" he said as his thick accent echoed in her ears. a run? since when did merle took interest in going sudden runs with her? they were usually up against their throats when being out on runs "what's the catch?" she asked while narrowing her eyes at the redneck, only to hear hir response as a laugh "oh catch? someone's a comedic!" merle exclaimed before putting on a smile "no catch, just out on a run to get some food" he said with a nod. Hayley sighed as she debated whether or not to go and looked back at her bed. "fine...give me a couple of minutes to get ready" she mumbled "that's the spirit sugar" merle said before leaving her to get changed, not bothering to fetch out new clothes so she just wore her clothes from two days ago.
can a women get a good sleep? nooo, she cant cause some crazy one handed guy wants something out of her! I swear we should have left the redneck's drunk ass up on that roof she thought bitterly, she wasn't much of a morning person. once she tied her last boot she grabbed her double blades and secured them around her wrists. double checking if it was tightly secured and if the blades easily went out when needed thank you video games she thought to herself as she grabbed her pistol on her way out the door. yeah she was a gaming nerd so sometimes she did pick up things from them, like the hidden blades from Assassin's creed. it did help out a lot while surrounded by walkers.
granted, took her time to master it but with her being flexible, it paid off. she ran her fingers through her hair as she took of her beanie and put it back on and made her way to a car but was stopped by none other then merle "woah now, we ain't going on wheels, we're going on foot sugar" he said while she rolled her eyes "it would be faster then on foot plus we can get more food as well" she told him while merle shook his head with his lips in a straight line "no can do, now let's go" he said and started to walk towards the gates as Hayley stood there for a second, following the men with a knife arm.
walking seemed like forever cause of course they were on foot and not in a car which confused her. if going on a supply run for food, wouldn't it be better with a vehicle? plus why doesn't merle have a backpack to put the food in? "where the heck are we going?' she spoke up after the long silence "slow and steady sugar, no need to worry" merle said as he stabbed a walker in the head that was nearby "so...sudden supply run? thought we had enough food?" she asked as she stuffed her hands in her back pockets and took a good look around. they were walking through the woods which was more strange then not taking a car something's up but what? she thought to herself
"governor told me to go out on a run...saying also to take you along since you haven't been in much help lately" governor? she had bother her eyebrows raised at the sudden comment from the redneck as she glanced at him, only nodding her head and noticed a walker in the distance, figuring why not kill it instead of doing nothing. she was about to stab it when she felt someone push her down on the ground, pinning her down "what the fuck!?" she exclaimed, looking well trying to look over her shoulder and saw merle on top of her "sorry sugar, just doing the job" her eyes widen once everything now fell into place.
governor wanted her dead for last night, doesn't really surprise her truth be told but deep down...hurt her. she squirmed as she tried to get out of his grip cause one, she didn't want to die from him and two, she didn't want to be bitten by the walker. "any last words sugar?" merle chuckled lowly "yeah, fuck yourself Dixon" she hissed as she used all of her strength to roll over, making merle down on his back. she was about to get up when she felt a immense, sharp pain on her left hip. letting out a painful scream. her hand went over to the wound that was gushing with the dark crimson color perfect she was stabbed by merle. Hayley elbowed him hard in the gut and quickly got up from him, ignoring the pain she was feeling and managed to run, the only thing in her mind was 'shit' and that's about it.
she tired to come up with an idea but nothing came to mind, she was cut out of her thoughts when a loud 'bang' was heard and a pain was shot through her right arm. hissing as she grabbed onto her arm, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she listened to merle's laugh "you know I thought it would be easy to take you out...looks like I was wrong there sugar" Hayley slowly straightened herself, pain was going all trough her left side "so this was the governor's real idea huh?" she softly mumbled "damn right it is, actually couldn't have waited it for the green light to be lit to take yer out sugar" merle told her and what happened next wasn't what the redneck planned for
Hayley punched him right in the nose, tackling him down to the ground. letting her punches do most of the talking. oh how good it felt to finally punch this guy! sounds a bit evil yes but it felt good. really good after what he did. after what felt like hours of punching the guy's face, which was bloody and badly bruised, along with some hitting on his chest. she got up and started to make a run for it again not before she felt another bullet run through her right arm again. Christ he doesn't give up does he? but that didn't stop her from running. she bit her bottom lip before she hid behind a tree.
catching her breath. already hearing some of the snarling in the distance from the walkers that the shots attracted "come out and play sugar tits! now I promise I wont hurt you yet! we can have some fun right before you get it in your head! I could make you feel pleasure like you never felt before" merle's yelling was heard all over and was bound to bring more walkers cry me a river asshole she thought as she shuddered at what she was hearing, even when wanting her dead he still had to make a comment about getting in her pants. classic merle
she swallowed hard as she pushed herself slowly from the tree and started to run, praying to god that she doesn't get shot again and being the unlucky girl that she is, she was shot. this time her left thigh or what seemed like it. maybe it just grazed over? she didn't have that much time to stop and look at it so she just ran and ran, and ran, and ran. she couldn't handle the running anymore, her lungs were burning but she didn't stop. she knew that if she would stop she would be in merle's hands again or walker food which she didn't want to end up being.
she let out a gasp as she bumped into a walker, acting quickly she stabbed it with her blade on time but her eyes widened at the sight of walkers. all slowly staggering their way over to their stuffed turkey named Hayley. she cursed under her breath and took out the near by walkers that were in her way, moving her way through the forest that seemed never ending. so this is how i am going to die. the thought rambled through the young twenty five year old's mind as she continued to walk through the forest after a good run. if this was the 5K run,she would have won first place for all of this.
stabbed on the lower left hip with two bullets on her right arm and one on her left thigh. all thanks to the son of a gun merle. heh, the name was posion to her. guy was more crazier then a box full of monkey's. perfect ain't it? leaning against a tree for a bit, hayley took a quick breather. she needed at least a good ten minute break from all of the running. she checked her wounds made from the guy and hissed whenever she touched them. she lost a lot of blood and was shocked she was still standing up and didn't faint.
granted head felt a bit dizzy but she was a tough one and wasn't going to go down yet. she was about to sit down on the ground before hearing the sounds she both is used to and hates. THEM those things...walkers they are called, to her. nightmares. softly groaning she started heading straight on forward since that's her safe bet. got to keep going she told herself, giving herself some pep talk even though it was pointless and she was about to drop to the ground like a puppet.
what felt like hours on hours of walking considering she was stumbling around, looking over her shoulder from time to time to see if anyone of the walkers were close to her. she stopped at the sight of what seemed like a prison off the distance. looked like a good twenty more mile walk but it seemed...secure like no way was anyone going to be living there she thought to herself. but it was a risk worth taking honestly. it was playing hide and go seek with the biters or trying to find some place to stay for a bit. slowly, taking her now journey to the prison
(ta-dah! finally posted this sucky chapter! I know it may not make sense I suck at writing action packed stuff but hopefully it makes sense to you guys. it may seem off character or just plain is stupidly written. it's what I came up with and am happy with it. I had this chapter written differently but I figured it wouldn't make sense since it would be a good idea to finally start including some parts from the episodes right? which the episodes used were 3 Walk With Me and the beginning of episode 7, When The Dead Come Knocking. so finally we will be having the prison in this story yay! *throws confetti* so yes, next chapter will finally feature daryl and the prison group :) and yes I sort of made Hayley be like michone situation when she gets attacked by merle but its completely different! made it my own way c; now hopefully you guys will like this chapter and please comment below! I like hearing your guys opinions on this :) I will promise you the next chapter will be better in the writing since I know the writing doesn't fully make sense -well to me that is when I read it out loud- but its almost four in the morning, cant sleep so I figured why not post a chapter so I blame me being awake at this hour for the not making sense writing. but yeah, comment below and in two days or so new chapter will be up :).)
